Answer:If this happens 5 days a week the distance is 18750 meters or 18.75 kilometers

If it is 7 days a week it is 26.25 km

Explanation:

Does this student walk to school 7 days a week or is it 5 days a week?

1875 meters is the distance one way traveled.

Round trip, the distance is 2*1875 meters is 3750 meters

If this happens 5 days a week the distance is 18750 meters or 18.75 kilometers


if 7 times a week, 7* 3750 m = 26,250 meters

answer:

To find the total distance covered by the student in a week, we need to calculate the distance traveled per day and then multiply it by the number of days in a week.

Given that the distance between the school and the student's house is 1km 875m, we can add the distance of the forward trip and the return trip to get the total distance traveled per day.

Forward trip distance = 1km 875m

Return trip distance = 1km 875m

Total distance traveled per day = Forward trip distance + Return trip distance

= 1km 875m + 1km 875m

= 3km 750m

Now, we can multiply the total distance traveled per day by the number of days in a week to find the total distance covered in a week.

Total distance covered in a week = Total distance traveled per day * Number of days in a week

= 3km 750m * 7

= 26km 250m

Therefore, the student covers a total distance of 26km 250m in a week
